Title: In what year will a personal computer be able to do 1 Th/s? Post by: imperi on June 16, 2011, 08:31:48 PM I was just wondering about this. A top-end graphics card in 2000 could probably do 5-15 MH/s, and now one can do 600. So I'm guessing 2024 or so, maybe sooner.

Even good cards from a few years back are doing 20 Mh/s. Might be a bad comparison, but Xbox came out in 2001, you don't think that could do 1 or 2? edit: On second thought, I don't think it could.

There are crypto cards already, they are just expensive because they are sold in small numbers only. (Nobody needed them at home, but large encrypted websites do.) |
